A child’s parents argue constantly and often have foul moods. Whenever they talk to the child, he is left feeling anxious. As a result of constantly worrying at home, the child often feels tired at school and has trouble answering questions from his teachers. Which component of Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model (2004) best describes this situation?
  1. Microsystem
  2. Mesosystem
  3. Exosystem
  4. Macrosystem
Explanation
Answer: B - The scenario is best classified as belonging to a mesosystem.
The exosystem and macrosystem components of Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model (2004) are too broad to properly describe the presented scenario. Although the relationships the child has both at home and at school fall into microsystems, the scenario clearly shows that interaction exists between the two systems.
